00:00 Introduction to Newbie RV Questions
01:41 Question #1: How do RV travelers get their mail?
05:36 Question #2: Is it expensive to travel in an RV?
07:41 Question #3: Is traveling in an RV safe?
12:21 Question #4: What is the best RV for travel?

Question #1: How do RV travelers get their mail?
There are services where you can have your mail redirected. They receive, sort, scan and ship your mail anywhere you want. They also get rid of anything that isn't first class mail.
Question #2: Is it expensive to travel in an RV?
Just like other forms of travel, traveling in an RV can be as cheap or as expensive as you want to make it. You can stay in state and national parks or in remote areas where the price can even be free. Then there are resorts where the price can be as much as a hotel room.
Question #3: Is traveling in an RV safe?
Safety is subjective. As Paul explains in this video, he was raised around motorcycles and doesn't find them unsafe at all and other people think they are dangerous. The same goes for traveling in an RV. Staying in a remote area can be intimidating for some people, but they can also be some of the most beautiful and serene spots you'll ever visit. The good news is, if you ever feel unsafe you can move your RV to a different spot.

Question #4: What is the best RV for Travel?
If you ask 50 RVers this question you will likely get 50 different answers. Paul and Lorena's preference is a motorhome. Remember the safety question? If you feel unsafe, you never have to leave your vehicle at a rest stop or wherever because you can start the vehicle and leave. If your co-pilot needs to use the bathroom they can go while the vehicle is in motion. You can tow a smaller vehicle to get around once parked. If you are towing a travel trailer it is likely that vehicle is pretty large and can be harder to get around places, especially when visiting smaller towns.
